Editing, colour, audio and visual effects in one app, free in its full form
DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design bundles four tools usually sold separately: a timeline editor, a colour grading suite, the Fairlight audio workstation and the Fusion node-based effects page. The free version is unusually complete, with no watermark and most features enabled; the paid Studio build adds more. Machine learning powers the Neural Engine features: Magic Mask isolates subjects without rotoscoping, object removal cleans up unwanted elements, speech-to-text writes subtitles, and voice isolation separates dialogue from noise. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and is a strong choice wherever colour is central.

Not much. The main gaps are a group of neural engine effects such as advanced magic mask, some resizing tools, multi-user collaboration and a few delivery formats. For most editors the free version covers the work.
The colour and Fusion pages have real depth, so expect a learning period. Editors arriving from simpler software usually find the cut page approachable and then grow into the rest of the application.
If you rely on the neural features, need specific delivery formats, or work in a team with shared projects. Because it is a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, many freelancers buy it once and keep it.
